Kentucky already has, arguably, the top recruiting class of 2016 with McDonald's All-Americans Bam Adebayo, De’Aaron Fox, Sacha Killeya-Jones and Malik Monk, plus 5-star small forward Wenyen Gabriel.

I've heard a lot of ridiculous things in my time, but this one? Well, it might not take the cake, but it's in the bakery and looking.

When sophomore point guard Tyler Ulis was recruited by Kentucky, he was widely believed (and may have said as much) to be a four-year player.

For one brief moment, the Hoosiers led by 10, but for the most part the Indiana/Kentucky second round NCAA match-up was as tight as we expected.

I've seen UK fans show up in Hawaii when Kentucky was part of the Maui Invitational. They made quite a showing at UCLA in December's loss to the Bruins.

I don't understand something. I watched Kentucky and Texas A&M battle it out in a thrilling SEC Championship game on Sunday afternoon. Kentucky won, 82-77 in overtime. And then their seed--they got a 4--is one below the A&M, whom they beat.

I happen to believe, from a completely objective point of view, that UK sophomore Tyler Ulis is the best point guard in the country. This kid's extraordinary talent is matched by his intelligence, his seeming wisdom-beyond-his-years.

Kentucky's 2016 recruiting class is ranked number one by most outlets, but guess who else will be playing alongside De'Aron Fox, Malik Monk, Edrice "Bam" Adebayo, Wenyen Gabriel, and Sacha Killeya-Jones and the players that return?

On really only a couple of occasions this season--including a career-best 26 points against NJIT in early November--did UK freshman center Skal Labissiere show flashes of what most pundits thought he WOULD be all season.

It's always good to maintain your sense of humor, especially after taking on your 8th loss of the season. And that's what UK coach John Calipari did.

Near the end of last night's UK/Texas A&M game, freshman Isaac Humphries made THE defensive play of the game by grabbing the ball then drawing a foul with under 10 seconds left in the game.

UK sports has initiated a promotion that will make some very lucky Kentucky Wildcat fan very, very happy.
